The rally was held a day after a party led by politician and cricket star Imran Khan said it
would prevent NATO supply trucks traveling to and from Afghanistan from going through Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa province until the U.S. stops drone strikes. The U.S. leads the NATO coalition of
troops battling the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan.

About 100 protesters on the outskirts of Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, checked
the documents of truck drivers headed toward Afghanistan as they passed through a toll booth.

Police were present but did not intervene to stop the protesters, some of whom were carrying
wooden batons.
